This image shows the partially restored temple of Athena Pronaea, one of the many structures in the archaeological complex of Delphi, Greece.
The caption is in six languages, and the English states:

–There are actually three different temples of this name, built and expanded over the centuries as Greece grew and changed. This obviously round structure is known as the Tholos.

This is an image of the M.S. Stella Solaris (formerly S.S. Camboge) which was the pride of the Sun Lines cruise ship company in the latter part of the 20th Century.
The caption on the back states simply:
Sun Line M.S. Stella Solaris Greek Registry
–This ship was active in the Aegean cruise trade for many summers from the early 1970s until the end of the century. In winter it made tours of the Caribbean. It was finally scrapped in the early 2000s as newer, much larger and more economically efficient ships were developed.
This card came into my possession because my parents took an Aegean cruise on this vessel and sent the card back to my mother’s mother as a souvenir. As it was used, the card is dated June 11, 1977.
This image is of the famous road along the shore in Monterey where many of the sardine canneries were housed, and which came to be called Cannery Row.
The caption states:
CANNERY ROW
Monterey, California
Famous Cannery Row with its many Gift and Souvenir Shops, fine Restaurants and the Steinbeck Theatre, is located on the Bay side just to the north of Fisherman’s Wharf.
–The capitalization is in the original. There are no canneries any more on the Row, and even most of the cannery buildings have long since been demolished and replaced. There are still several historic buildings on the Row, including parts of a former cannery complex.
The cars in the photo indicate this image is from the 1970s.
